Editorial: Dietary transformations and health implications among migrant populations

diseases. In many contexts, migrants experience greater food insecurity and higher risk of undernutrition than native-born residents, and long work hours and housing insecurity can disrupt preferred food routines. For the most precarious migrants, even access to basic nutritional sufficiency can be challenging. The articles in this research topic provide ample evidence of these injustices and how they register within the interconnected realms of diet, sociality, and health. They point to the structural vulnerabilities of migrant and diasporic populations that shape processes of dietary acculturation and render disproportionate burdens of food insecurity and noncommunicable disease. Yet they also complicate depictions of these populations as "passive recipients" of dominant food environments and ideologies. Contrary to popular assumptions, migrant and diasporic populations are often agents in transforming the food practices of the places they move to.The articles comprise a range of migration experiences (i.e., South-South and South-North migration), forms of evidence, research methods (i.e., survey-and statisticallybased, ethnographic or qualitative), and critical perspectives (i.e., critical race and diaspora studies, feminist, decolonial, and global South scholarship).
